Concrete paving slabs for road construction are made from mixtures consisting of hydraulic binder, fine and coarse aggregates and water. The prepared mixture of a given humidity is subjected to vibration molding under the following technological conditions: process duration 5–10 seconds, vibration frequency 30–50 Hz and pressure 70–80 kg/cm2. Hardening of freshly molded samples is carried out in a heat and humidity treatment chamber. It has been established that it is possible to replace natural coarse aggregate with fractionated scrap concrete. The compressive strength of concrete with aggregate based on recycled crushed stone is 300 - 400 kg/cm2, water absorption 4.8 - 6.2%, frost resistance F2 200 - 300. The proposed technology allows solving both economic and environmental issues for regions with large amounts of concrete scrap at temporary industrial waste storage sites.

The influence of blast furnace ground granulated slag on the kinetics of strength gain of concrete prepared with a composite binder was revealed. The composite binder contained Portland cement in amounts of 70, 60 and 50%, and the rest was ground granulated slag. It has been established that at the early stage of strength development, concretes made with a composite binder have a strength lower than concrete prepared with Portland cement by 10-24%. However, at the age of 28 days, the strength of concrete using a composite binder corresponds to the strength of concrete using Portland cement. Using polycorboxylate hyperplasticizers, it was possible to obtain concrete with a W/C ratio of 0.25-0.35, which made it possible to obtain high early strength exceeding control compositions by 10-20%.

The physicomechanical properties of paving slabs produced by vibropressing technology are determined. The compositions of fine-grained concrete using quartz fine-grained sands and very fine sands are proposed. The obtained results confirmed the possibility and effectiveness of the use of substandard fine-grained raw materials of the local raw material base, which ensure a reduction in the cost of production.

Porous concrete is a new type of concrete with high permeability of water flows. It is advisable to use this type of concrete in road construction for the device filtration zones. This will allow to remove water from the carriageway, especially in places where there is no storm sewer. Infiltration of water flows through concrete pavement coatings contributes to their rapid removal from the surface, reducing slipperiness and water planning. The use of macroporous concrete will minimize flooding of car parks and roads. The results of the study confirm that permeable concrete surfaces function stably over time and are not silted with sand and soil.

The use of ultrathin sand as the main raw material in the production of concrete made by semi-dry molding is relevant for many regions of Russia due to the lack of sand with a high modulus of grain size and solid stone. The article presents the results of the analysis of the possible use of sands with a modulus of particle size Mcr = 0.8-1.4 in pressed small-sized concrete paving products for sidewalks. Replacing ordinary sand up to 80% with fine-grained does not reduce strength and performance properties. The transition to fine-grained and silty sands reduces the cost of production.

Investigations were conducted to assess the corrosion resistance of stabilized sandy loam soil with ground granulated slags in organic media: mineral oil, gasoline and diesel fuel. A model is proposed for an accelerated study of the corrosion resistance of concretes and other building materials under the conditions of the dynamic effect of the medium under investigation on the test material. The obtained results of X-ray phase analysis of samples and electron microscopic studies suggest that as a result of hydration of minerals of ground slag and ground, low-base CSH (B) hydrosilicates are formed, the sizes of new formations and inclusions on ETF slag are less than on CMP slag.
